If we would civilize in the real sense of the word, that is band the people together to their mutual comradship and aid, we must build a solid foundation, lest our labors should prove fruitless. And the only real, substantial foundation upon which such an enterprise may be successful is upon (iod and religion. There is always a continual cry for the expansion and upbuilding of every citv and town in the country. There is ever at hand an improvement idea, a motive for building and beautifying among the people. Yet, if tlie world is being materially beautified, how much more should our morals be beautified u ith an abundance of virtues and a spirit of religion? Therefore, if our material progress is to be a substantial, solid, ever-expanding,and constantly-growing venture, we must place it upon a foundation which will assure its growth and shelter it from hardships and ruin. Wherefore, if we would insure the steady progress of our civilization let us do it in a wholesome, godlike. Christian manner. Lester Schorn, ’16. A PLEA FOR PEACE The cannons loudly thundered Their dismal peal of woe: The winged lead of lightning Mowed down the dreaded foe: Hut o’er the awful tumult A mother's piercing wail Broke forth in pain and anguish O’er a form, still and pale. What, though he fell while fighting To laurel his country's name. Or leave his name in hist’ry On her gloried roll of fame. The gleam in his eye has vanished, The glow on his cheek has fled. 'The world to her is lonely, The son that she loved is dead. Slain for a king’s ambition, Both he and his noble band Must fall in the ranks of the slaughtered On the fields of an alien land. For this did a mother nur.se him. For this was her love and pain. That their proud forms be scattered O’er a blood-smirched riven plain? Let us lift our hearts to heaven And invoke the Prince of Peace To still the hearts of the haughty. And bid the war tides cease. We, who in peace and plenty. Know not of war’s dire dread. Nor the pangs of saddened mothers Who mourn for their country’s dead. John Dougherty. ’15.
